#ScribesAndMakers day 20: When it comes to theater, do you prefer tragedy or comedy?
Comedy, although it's a close thing. Watching someone completely ruin their life can be grand and full of pathos, and many of the best soliloquies are from tragedies, not comedies. But in the end, I prefer to walk out of the theater having laughed and had fun rather than having gone, "OMG, can you please not do the obviously catastrophic things?" for a couple of hours.
